[6bone] Getting ISPs to use IPv6

[Daniel Austin]

Hi,

We're in a similar position here.
Our company is not large enough to request a /32 from RIPE (we cant allocate 200 customers ipv6 in the next 12 months, nor can i lie
to RIPE to let them believe it!)
We're not a RIPE LIR, so i cant even request it to be thrown out.
But we're fully multihomed on PI ipv4 space....

It seems there's no similar position for us in ipv6 land.
I have to rely on using static-routed IPv6 IP's from another provider which means i *CANT* offer a production service on ipv6....
but of course, this all goes back to the multihoming thread...


With Thanks,

Daniel Austin,
Managing Director,
Kewlio.net Limited.
